Which party or coalition won the elections in Kerala in 2004? And which party or coalition is currently in power in Kerala? Where possible please provide information on the area of Kasaragod. 2004 national elections in Kerala May 2004 saw the completion of national election polls in Kerala. The 2004 national election ended as a victory for the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), a coalition of parties led by the Indian National Congress (INC). While the INC polled well in many of India’s states it did poorly in Kerala where it failed to win a single seat. The poor showing of the INC was read by some commentators as a vote against the performance of the INC at the state level (at the time the INC controlled the Kerala state government). Most of the vote in Kerala in 2004 went to the Communist Party of India–Marxist (CPI-M) who, at that time, were in opposition in Kerala state politics as the leading party of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) coalition (one seat went to the Indian Federal Democratic Party (IFDP), and ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition). While the INC and the CPI- M were thus competitors at the level of state politics and in the national polling process itself, the CPI-M candidates elected to the national legislature in 2004 would, in the post election 1 alliance formation bargains, go on to give their support to the INC led UPA coalition in the national legislature. This partnership ended in June 2008 when the CPI-M, along with four other left wing parties, withdrew support from the INC led UPA over the terms of a nuclear energy deal being negotiated with the United States (for information on the 2004 polling results in Kerala, see: Krishnakumar, R. 2004, ‘A red-wash in the South’, Frontline, vol.21: no.11, 22 May http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl2111/stories/20040604006302600.htm – Accessed 3 March 2009 – Attachment 1; and: Kumar, G.G. 2004, ‘Kerala bucks the national trend, once again’, The Hindu, 20 May http://www.hinduonnet.com/elections2004/verdict2004/stories/2004052000230300.htm – Accessed 3 March 2009 – Attachment 2; for an overview of Kerala’s LDF and UDF coalitions and their various relationships with national political coalitions, see: Iype, G. 2006, ‘Kerala’s political jigsaw, unravelled’, Rediff.com, 10 April http://www.rediff.com/election/2006/apr/10pkerala.htm – Accessed 20 October 2008 – Attachment 3; for the recent withdrawal of the CPI-M from the UPA over the nuclear deal, see: ‘Left pulls out, will meet President Patil on Wednesday’ 2008, Express India, 8 July http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Left-pulls-out-will-meet-President-Patil-on- Wednesday/332876/ – Accessed 20 October 2008 – Attachment 4). The seat of Kasaragod reportedly went to a CPI-M candidate, P. Karunakaran. The INC candidate, N.A. Mohammed, finished third in the Kasaragod poll (see: ‘Historic win for Left; Congress draws blank’ 2004, The Hindu, 14 May http://www.hindu.com/2004/05/14/stories/2004051406690700.htm – Accessed 4 March 2009 – Attachment 5; ‘Kasargod Parliament Constituency’ (undated), Kasaragod District Administration website http://kasargod.nic.in/administration/mp.htm – Accessed 4 March 2009 – Attachment 6). 2004 by-elections in Kerala local politics September 2004 saw by-elections in Kerala state politics including in the area of Kasaragod. According to The Hindu: “The bypoll list included three district panchayat wards. In Punnapra division of Alappuzha district panchayat and Karadukka division of Kasaragod district panchayat, the CPI(M) candidates, P. K. Rathi and A. Chandrasekharan, won by handsome margins of 9,748 votes and 5,403 votes respectively” (‘LDF wins majority of seats in civic bypolls’ 2004, The Hindu, 30 September http://www.hindu.com/2004/09/30/stories/2004093011120400.htm – Accessed 4 March 2009 – Attachment 7). 2006 Kerala state elections Kerala’s most recent state government elections took place in May 2006 and ended as a victory for the Left Democratic Front (LDF) coalition. Led by the Communist Party of India– Marxist (CPI-M) the 2006 LDF coalition also consisted of: “Communist Party of India, Janata Dal-Secular, Kerala Congress-J, Revolutionary Socialist Party, Nationalist Congress Party, Indian National League, Kerala Congress-S and Congress-S”. The victory of the LDF in May 2006 saw the United Democratic Front (UDF) governing coalition removed from office. Led by the Indian National Congress (INC, or Congress) the 2006 UDF coalition also consisted of: “Kerala Congress (Mani), Janathipathya Samrakshana Samiti, Kerala Congress (B), Communist Marxist Party, Revolutionary Socialist Party (Shibu faction) and Revolutionary Socialist Party (Babu Divakaran faction)”. News reports have noted that the May 2006 state election result continued a trend wherein the Kerala electorate has swung back-and-forth between the LDF and the UDF at successive elections (for an overview of the 2 May 2006 state election results in Kerala, see: ‘Kerala’s political jigsaw, unravelled’ 2006, Rediff website, 10 April http://in.rediff.com/election/2006/apr/10pkerala.htm – Accessed 19 January 2007 – Attachment 30; Muraleedharan, N. 2006, ‘2006: Political conflicts in Kerala’, Rediff.com, 20 December http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/dec/20year.htm – Accessed 6 July 2007 – Attachment 8; Lype, George 2006, ‘Kerala: Where change is static’, Rediff.com, 11 May http://in.rediff.com/election/2006/may/11gi.htm – Accessed 6 July 2007 – Attachment 9; Election Commission of India 2006, Statistical Report on General Election, 2006 to the Legislative Assembly of Kerala, Election Commission of India website http://www.eci.gov.in/StatisticalReports/SE_2006/StatReport_KL_2006.pdf – Accessed 20 October 2008 – Attachment 10). 2.

  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

  • Village Politics in Kerala—I
    THE ECONOMIC WEEKLY February 20, 1965 Village Politics in Kerala—I Kathleen Gough The arrest of 800 Leftist Communists at the end of 1964, 150 of them from Kerala, raises such questions as who supports the Leftists, why, and how political parties operate in Kerala*s villages. I shall discuss these questions with reference to a village in central Kerala, using comparative data from a second village in the northern part of the State. My first acquaintance with these villages was in 1948 and 1949. 1 returned to restudy them between April and September 1964, It is not suggested that these villages are typical of Kerala communities. Both, for example, contain a majority of Leftist Communist supporters, and both form wards within Leftist-dominated panchayats. (1 do not know what proportion of Kerala's 922 panchayats are dominated by the Leftists, but probably rather less than a third, judging by estimates received from district party offices). In both villages only one other party, the Congress, has an active organization, In both, the S S P and the Rightist Communists each, in 1964, had only one or two supporters; in the northern village, some half dozen Muslim families supported the Muslim League. Kerala's smaller parties, such as the Revolutionary Socialist Party and the Christian Karshaka Thozhilali Party, are more locally based and in these villages had no supporters at all. Situated in the midland farming areas, the two villages can also afford no insight into politics on the large tea and rubber estates to the east, the coastal fishing or coir or cashew-nut processing communities, or the bigger ports.

  • Trusting E-Voting Amidst Experiences of Electoral Malpractice: the Case Of
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository Trusting e-voting amidst experiences of electoral malpractice: the case of Indian elections Chrisanthi Avgerou, Silvia Masiero, Angeliki Poulymenakou Journal of Information Technology, accepted 14.09.2018 Abstract This paper constructs explanatory theory on trust in e-voting, a term that refers to the use of stand-alone IT artefacts in voting stations. We study e-voting as a techno-organisational arrangement embedded in the process of elections and the broader socio-economic context of a country. Following a critical realist approach, we apply retroduction and retrodiction principles to build theory by complementing existing studies of e-voting with insights from an in-depth case study of elections in India. First, we seek evidence of trust in e-voting in the responses of the public to the announcement of election results. Then we derive the following four mechanisms of trust creation or loss: the association of e-voting with the production of positive democratic effects; the making of e-voting part of the mission and identity of electoral authorities; the cultivation of a positive public attitude to IT with policies for IT-driven socio-economic development; and, in countries with turbulent political cultures, a clear distinction between the experience of voting as orderly and experiences of malpractice in other election tasks. We suggest that these mechanisms explain the different experience with e-voting of different countries. Attention to them helps in assessing the potential of electoral technologies in countries that are currently adopting them, especially fragile democracies embarking upon e-voting.
